Chapter 1285: Just Bear With It.

Elvis nodded. It was the right decision to have that additional layer of protection for Gu Mengmeng.

As much as he felt that he would never hurt Gu Mengmeng, that extra protection made him feel more at ease.

Gu Mengmeng sighed. With one party willing to be the abuser and the other willing to bear the abuse, there was nothing more left to say.

The Beast Deity maintained his benevolent smile. With one tap of his finger, Elvis shuddered all over as sweat poured forth and his pupils dilated.

His hands trembled against the transparent barrier as tears flowed from his eyes.

Gu Mengmeng’s heart tightened as she pressed her own palms against his through the barrier. “Is it very painful?”

As far as she knew, Elvis had two exceptionally terrible battles before. Once was in the Snake King valley when he got totally battered up after clearing all the traps laid down by Snakel. Elvis had stood, bruised and bloodied all over at Snakel’s door, only to hear Snakel say those final words “so weak”.

The second time was right before going to the Mecca Desert, when he had fought Wabei so as to enhance his own strength. Wabei had really gone hard on Elvis, and the two of them fought each other to the brink of death.

And Elvis didn’t cry those two times.

So what kind of pain was he in now that tears were actually streaming down his face?

Elvis nodded and exhaled through quivering lips, “Painful. Very painful.”

He clawed furiously at his own heart with his sharp claws. Elvis’ brows were furrowed deeply and his jaw muscles were completely tensed. His eyes were so bloodshot that there were nearly no whites left. It was a hideously savage face but Gu Mengmeng could detect the deep love behind it.

“So… when you gave birth to those little wolves… the pain was like this…”

Even if Elvis had to bear this type of suffering tenfold, he would at most just grit his teeth. But the moment he thought of how Gu Mengmeng had once endured such pain, Elvis felt like his heart had been carved out by a knife and then soaked in a liquid to be electrocuted, before being smashed to a pulp. That kind of pain… it was indescribable.

He had known all along that Gu Mengmeng was under a lot of pain during childbirth. But he never knew just how terrible it was.

He could not bear to let Gu Mengmeng endure the pain of childbirth, and so decided to never let her bear children again.

But now he finally realized. Only by personally experiencing her pain would he truly know what it felt like to have his heart shredded to a pulp.

And he used to say how much his heart ached for her—how dare he! Compared to this, that tiny pinp.r.i.c.k was nothing.

He was really a sc.u.mbag! How despicable and selfish was he? To have made her pregnant. To have made her gone through childbirth. To have made her endure so much pain… all so he could have more bargaining chips to make her stay?

The Beast Deity held Gu Mengmeng’s shoulders and gazed at Elvis with disdain. “You already can’t bear this? Let me tell you that this is just the start of many more waves of pain. How long was my precious daughter in labor then? Or have you forgotten?”

How could he forget? That day, Gu Mengmeng was tormented an entire night by labor pains before finally giving birth.

The Beast Deity continued. “The labor pains will gradually intensify as time pa.s.ses, you… just bear with it.”

Elvis nodded seriously with red-rimmed eyes. He looked at Gu Mengmeng with such tender heartache, as if the one in pain was not himself but Gu Mengmeng, who was standing on the other side of the barrier, completely at a loss for what to do.

Gu Mengmeng stood helplessly outside the barrier. She shook the Beast Deity’s arm pleadingly. “Daddy, he has experienced it now. He knows how much pain I was in… why don’t you just let him out.”
